Many years of research and development have gone into this product.  What they were going for was a good Caribbean Rum.  This stuff was developed in New Zealand where home distillation is completely legal.  This yeast is very clean and is not overloaded with nutrients.  

A specialist active dried Rum distiller’s yeast. This strain produces an optimum congener profile for full-flavored, smooth, and rounded rum spirit.

Fermentation can be violent – do not use an airlock for the initial period of fermentation as the extreme CO2 pressure will just blow it off. Just cover with a clean cloth and secure with rubber bands like a drumhead.  Product contains an anti-foaming agent, so you should be able to ferment a 6.6 gallon batch in a 7.8 gallon bucket.  Follow directions and pay close attention to temperatures (68-82f) for best results.
